Yup. People have no clue, and it shows not only a skill gap, but a lack of curiosity and initiative to use these tools

  Sometimes it's not simply a lack of curiosity, but having the space to build these tools into your workflow. As a solo dev responsible for all development, project management, support, & infra, I've gotten as far as trying to use Aider for doing some features in our legacy codebase but not having it break the time-cost-benefit barrier. Now I feel like there's probably other workflows out there that I'm ignorant to that could be better, but keeping up feels impossible. Is there a particular approach/tool that you're finding to be really beneficial?

    My general flow: 1. Build huge prompt with Repo Prompt (500k+ tokens) 2. Ask for gemini pro to summarize the task using above prompt 3. Hand off coding to codex (openai) The above flow replaces a junior developer

      you seem to be spamming a version of this comment on every AI post. Can you put money where your mouth is. can you demo this flow on a open source issue on a repo like pytorch ? I am curious to see how many issues this junior developer can close.

        I am spamming it because I cannot believe how well it works. Its really about prompt construction and distilling the code base into something that can be fed to the coding agent

          > I cannot believe how well it works me either. Thats why i asked you for a video but you seem to be more interested in spamming the same comment again. Maybe AI will replace engineers that don't understand what is being asked.
